The Role as a Construction Planner Will Include:
Developing and managing construction programmes directly informed by federated BIM models
Working closely with project managers, engineers, and site teams to align programme logic with real installation methodology
Coordinating complex MEP/CSA sequences and interfaces, ensuring programme certainty on a mission-critical project
Identifying programme risks, constraints, and clashes early, and driving practical mitigation strategies
Tracking progress on site, producing accurate reports, and supporting delivery teams to maintain programme integrity
As a Construction Planner, You Will Need:
Experience as a Planner, Senior Planner, or Planning Engineer within construction
Strong background in planning
The ability to build a programme from a BIM model, not just update schedules in P6 or Asta
Experience on large-scale, technically complex projects (£50m+), ideally data centres, industrial, or high-tech facilities
Strong working knowledge of Primavera P6 and/or Asta Powerproject, supported by real construction understanding
